Putting it all Together!

You’ve taken courses, attended webinars, read books. Now what? What do you actually do with the knowledge you’ve gained? Where do you start on your genealogical journey? If you’ve already started, how can you proceed without getting bogged down? This presentation is designed to help you put together those methods and techniques you’ve learned.

Carla Love Maitland is a native Memphian and a retired award-winning educator. Those honors include being named ‘Secondary Teacher of the Year’ by the Memphis Commercial Appeal.  For most of her 43-year career, she taught history. Consequently, she began researching her own family’s history in the mid-1970s, seeking to prove one “family story” true and another one false. She found quite the opposite for both!

After her retirement, Carla put her many years of research to work and continued to join lineage, heritage, genealogical, and historical societies. Her memberships in those are honestly too many to list here, but she has served as an officer in several of them.

At the end of this past December, Carla concluded six wonderful years as the President of the Tennessee Genealogical Society. In December of 2022, she was appointed by the Shelby County Mayor to her current position as the Genealogist for the Public Records Commission of the Shelby County Board of Commissioners.

Carla enjoys writing and teaching about what she has found as she has researched her family and others’. However, her real “claim to fame” is the fact that she had three wonderful sons, one fabulous grandson, two beautiful granddaughters, and two absolutely fantastic great-grandsons.

A Zoom link will be sent to members and subscribers the morning of the meeting.
